Managing Screen Time with Grandparents
Managing a child's screen time during visits to grandparents is important to prevent behavioral disruptions at home. Parents often find that when children have unrestricted access to screens in environments outside their control, it can lead to meltdowns and challenges readjusting to home life. To address this, parents should communicate their guidelines to grandparents, including removing gaming consoles or password-protecting devices. Offering alternative activities for children, such as outdoor play or crafts, can help minimize screen time and foster more positive behaviors.
